Game description
Not so much a game as a tech demo, the Fireworks Demo was created using Game Maker's new particle effects (for the time). Though I am not really a big fan of Game Maker's particles, I had to at least test them out. After a lot of trial and error, I created a system of particles for the star, house lights, and of course, the fireworks. The demo was finished just in time for the 4th of July, 2004.
Once the initial system was created, I added lots of different options to the scene, to really let the user play with it. This is one of only two projects in which I utilized particles, but I did enjoy their ease of use, and speed. Creating a scene like this would be a nightmare of slowness with particle objects!
Interesting facts about the game
· The entire demo was coded in Gamer Maker's Drag & Drop system.
· The lights in the hill background were inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog 3's Carnival Night Zone.
